HENNEPIN STILL THERE.
Congress Gives 1t $4,000 in the
River and HarbOr Bill.
The Item Inserted in the Bill Which
Is Now Before the President-Other
Changes in the Appropriation BILL
Renewed Hope.

The Hennepin canal has received a
boost at the hands of the conference
committee, which has sent it clear through
congress and into the presence of Presi>
dent Cleveland, where its fate hangs.
There was an important change made In
the river and harbor bill in the matter OF
Hennepin by the conference committee
yesterday. That proviso prevented the
expenditure of any money until the state
of Illinois should cede to the United
States its interest in the locks and dams
on the Illinois river, and to that portion
of the Illinois and Michigan canal which
lies between Lske Joliet and the city OF
Chicago. The provision as 1t stands, after
describing the work, is this; And fol
the purpose of making said surveys and
locating said canals and feeder in addi-
ton to any unexpended balance which
may remain of the amount appropriated
in the river ard harbOr act approved
Aug. IS. 1885. for defraying the expense:
of the board of engineers therein author
lied and directed to report upon TIT
acquisition and improvement of thu
Illinois and Michigan canal and the con
struction of the Hennepin canal which
may be used for that purpose, the furthe,
sum of $4,000 or so much thereof 81
may be necessary, is hereby appropri-
ated.'

Row only awaits the presidents sigma

suppose that Secretary Endicott voiced
the sentiment of the president whe hi
recommended the passage of the Henne

the president will append his signature t.
the bill, which gives the Hennepin it

The other changes made in the rive

End Ever Conner

End Ever Gomez
1t was 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
when the August Huesing injunction
case opened on its fiDal hearing before
Judge Glenn in the circuit court. Mr..
Huesing and the rebelling butchers were
represented by their former counsel,
Judge Wilkinson and William jackson,
Esq, of this city. and Hon. Chas. Dun>
how, of Geneseo, while the city's side of
the case was engineered By Messrs. W.
II. Gest, E. D. Sweeney, NJ. NJ. Stur-
geon and City Attorney NJ E Sweeney.
The afternoon was occupied By the in
PRODUCTION of witnesses by the Huesing
element, City Clerk Koehler being first
called to testify as to the issue of certain
licenses Messrs NJ. A. Gould and G. H.
Stoddard gave evidence as TO surveys,
and Mr.. Henry Nichols, residing near the
abattoir, swore that the site was subject
TO overflow previous to the citV's filling.
and that it was inundated during the
flood of June, 1880, as it was the only
road leading to it at that time. The
butchers side of the case was rested
here, and court adjourned until 0 o'clock
this morning.
The city put ex> Mayor Henry Carse on
the stand this morning to testify as to the
extent of the food of 1880, and Mr..
Carse stated that the overflow had been
very general all over the city; that the
levee was completely submerged, the
| railroad tracks being covered, and IF fife
suspended south of Rock Island; that
Union square was completely under
water being several inches deep, and that
in many other parts of town the over
| flow was as bad as it was at the property
on which the abattoir is now located.
Several angry tits occurred between
counsel this morning and the case is
being bitterly fought, step by step. When
the end Will come, no earthly court can
at the present time decide.
